Seconded. Divinity must have been the game with the most disappointing end game that I have ever played.
Though to be fair I think that they should keep the final dungeon (with the hub and spoke or starfish-like shape) since that was nicely designed and it was fun beating the different Black Ring members with different approaches. That dungeon should be put right after hitting the gong and the wasteland part should indeed be totally scrapped.
